Good Morning Marek,

beautiful image! Can you post a polarized image without a retarder?

regards
Ecki

Thank you all for nice words.

Ecki,
I'll try to find any image of Micrasterias truncata taken with simple polarisation. If I shall not be able to find Micrasterias I send another Desmid, for example Netrium.

Litonotus and Rogelio, thank you.

Ecki,

Here is the sample of simple polarization of Netrium, as I promised. Unfortunately I haven't managed to find any Micrasterias without the retarders now. If I have opportunity to catch Micrasterias truncata I'll take photo without the retarders.
